I AGREE and i try my best to keep the peace. but i will keep having opinions the others may not like it but that's what makes the world interesting. having different opinions and view points even though at times you may not like them. and if i offended anyone i apologize i just got heated.

I think you are doing a great thread. We had a MOderator do this, her nickname was Dr. Bekah even though she didn't have a degree, but she did say all the boundaries and what she knew. It was amazing, lots of trust and she was awesome. I miss her and the other Moderating team. some would PM her or say something on a thread. It was great. Kudos to you.

Treat people the way you would want to be treated, with respect and kindness

This has been going on for way longer than two yrs. It's just how this forum is. You get girls of varying ages and maturity levels along with boys who act like females and it's bound to be an issue. It's not like anything is going to really change. It can get better but we've been attempting to change this for many many years (since 2006) and I feel bad for those who attempt to come on here and try to fix it and end up getting their heads bit off for trying to be positive. It's a good idea but I really think action needs to be taken on all levels. It's going to take a LONG time and constant reminding for all of us to change. Honestly, I don't see it ever changing but I hope someone proves me wrong.

...and I'm not gonna lie. I feel like this thread is a direct bash at me.
I've got a lot of stuff going on right now in my life and maybe ur right, maybe I should just leave.
Maybe I'm too old to be on here and putting up with saying something as respectfully as I can and having other people still choose to see it as "bullying." If I'm such a bully then I'm sorry I'm even on here. I always thought I was a valuable original member to this place but I see I'm not. PMing the person you feel upset with is a much better option. Doesn't matter though I hope some of you are happy. You just chased away a member. Since some of you don't have the respect to say how you feel to my face in a mature way then I'll just leave. Don't say "Oh no this wasn't only you it was other people!" I don't really want to be lied to. I'm sorry I tell people how I feel outright instead of holding it in. It's just a huge burden to have people asking me for help and saying they have been hurt by people on here and NOT saying something to protect those who are too scared to stick up for themselves. If that's a bully then so be it. I'd rather be a bully in everyone's eyes on here than someone who is too afraid to make a statement.

no wonder what the damage has been done. and i knew someone will never forgive me and they will keep on holding it over my head my past mistakes. so its best if i just go. i made a step in apologizing to others i hurt. but its still wont be the same again and its all my fault. so its best if i just leave this forum once and for all. i feel like such a horrible person right now that's why people don't talk to me anymore. so once again i apologize for who i hurt in the past. but i feel like am bringing the forum down and i don't want to do that anymore so i go. you all deserve better and zac does too.
